Sensitive personal details relating to almost 200 million US citizens have been accidentally exposed by a marketing firm contracted by the Republican National Committee. The 1.1 terabytes of data includes birthdates, home addresses, telephone numbers and political views of nearly 62% of the entire US population. The data was available on a publicly accessible Amazon cloud server. Anyone could access the data as long as they had a link to it.

This story has a fishy smell as there is an investigation into the NADRA breach and related to the Molly McCaulsky murder.
Sound like someone is trying to make the RNC the fall guy.

Does the link not show up for you? It’s working on my end.
To: ItsOnlyDaryl
Well, if it’s any consolation, this data can’t be used for commercial or political persuasion, because the subjects have passed.
Then again, with the Dems so set against voting security, maybe these souls can rise and vote again. /S
And, why would the RNC have a monopoly on this sort of data?
To: ItsOnlyDaryl
Subtract the illegals and that’s about everyone.

So I guess the libs will have more people to target and by that I mean, drive them out of their businesses or jobs with boycotts for being in possession of “wrong thoughts.”
To: Hostage
Huh?
The RNC has for years given over its major data contracts to hacks like these guys. The co-founder of this firm also did the data for Jeb 16.
Business as usual, such stupidity from them does not surprise me. Could it have been done because someone was paid off to make that information available?
Sure it is an overwhelmingly corrupt crowd too. But in this case, I suspect the simplest explanation fits—it’s just the Stupid Party at work.

“Deep Root Analytics” made the mistake according to the article.

other articles say that the discover notified amazon, which notified the owners, and that they closed the access before anything got out.

B.S. !
The REAL GUILTY PARTY IS THE DemocRATS !
The Democratic National Committee REFUSED to allow their computers and servers to be searched for evidence.
WHY ? I propose that
the Democratic National Committee hired Amid Awan, Jamal Awan, Imran Awan, and Rao Abbas to do the hacking to search for evidence against their opponents in the 2016 election,
and also had them hack the Democratic National Committee's own computers and servers, so as to remove suspicion from the DemocRATS.
Consider the following information about the SO CALLED Russian Hacking.
I believe it was
the Democratic National Committee who was DOING the hacking and leaving FALSE TRACES of the Russians.
We MUST INVESTIGATE the Democratic National Committee's servers ! ! !
Let's review a few pieces of history, such as:
Now based on the articles linked above, I propose to you that it is VERY POSSIBLE AND CREDIBLE
that the Democratic National Committee, under the direction of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Hillary and Bill Clinton, and the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF,
hired Amid Awan, Jamal Awan, Imran Awan, and Rao Abbasto hack those computers,
and to place false flags to make it look as if the Russians did the hacking.
On the other side of the issue is:
Now, I trust former Senator Jim DeMint, and I trust Rush and Glenn.
But all former Senator Jim DeMint has is
the document he was shown and briefed upon, and they came from a corrupted agency under Obama and his minions.
In closing, let me make it clear that
I strongly believe that document and other sources were generated by Amid Awan, Jamal Awan, Imran Awan, and Rao Abbas,
while they were working for he Democratic National Committee, under the direction of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Hillary and Bill Clinton, and the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF .
Imran Awan, target of a House security probe, worked in IT for Rep. Andre Carson, a member of the intelligence committee
Former President Bill Clinton with alleged Muslim Spy Imran Awan
Wasserman Schultz Threatened Police Chief For Gathering Evidence On Her IT Staffers Alleged Crimes
THE AWAN BROTHERS PAKISTANI/AMERICAN INTERNET SECURITY TEAM
Obama Placed ISLAMIC SPIES in the Federal Government. Details Are Treason.

Sensitive personal details relating to almost 200 million US citizens have been accidentally exposed by a marketing firm contracted by the Republican National Committee. Sounds like the author's playing word games Unless the marketing firm has but one client, then this sentence would be just as valid for any of their clients:
Sensitive personal details relating to almost 200 million US citizens have been accidentally exposed by a marketing firm contracted by insert any client here.
